Just purchased can i root JOP40D.WW.epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711 ?

Hi, I just purchased a TF300 from ebay (arrived this morning).. My first task was to try and root it and I've been at it all day without success. I've trawled many forums, used search bars galore and don't know what to do. I've tried Motochopper (which I now know doesn't work) along with other various apps to no avail. I've even unlocked the machine thinking that would help but no.
Obviously this wont have been rooted before so where does it leave me? What are my options? I'm rather new to android (only got my Galaxy S4 a month ago) but i'm learning quick.. just a bit frustrated as to where to go now..
any help greatly appreciated
Thanks

you could unlock your bootloader and flash a custom rom that will really improve the tablets performance but you do void your warrenty (although you might not have one as you bought off ebay)

Yeah and then use root keeper to keep root before updating to the new firmware

I'm not really into these custom roms that look all fancy i prefer the stock look - are there any like this and do they install the same way that i installed the older firmware (I used the volume down power combo then selected RCK or something similar).

well first you unlock your bootloader with the app from the asus site, the use fast to install a custom recovery (twrp 2.5.0.0) the use twrp to flash the custom rom, and if you flash cromi-x it looks completely stock the only difference is if you go into settings and look at the about tablet tab then it says cromi-x in the build tab, there is a step by step guide to getting twrp installed and ill talk you through installing cromi-x if you want but it isreally easy

Confused about if there's root for 4.4 etc

Ok so I got my XT1080 few days or whatever and it had the first 4.4 ota, you know the one with the transparent status bar but still that blue jelly bean hue on the status bar etc.... So not thinking of it I just decided to see if there was another ota and there was so I got it and now I want root.... Here's what I want to know please.. Without telling me to go read 30 pages on another post can someone just tell me
Is there root for me
If so do I have to have boot loader unlocked, I've had phones with locked boot loaders and still flashed Roms
Can I flash Roms on this device with a locked boot loader via twrp
I mainly read that you have to downgrade to a certain version use jcase method it something? I got lost in that bounty post..

Yes there is!
Note
This little guide assumes you know how to install adb and use basic command-line tools.
First, flash your phone back to a older version with rsdlite. (instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53141176&postcount=6)
Second, use jcase's pie exploit. (instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-x-pie-motorola-devices-t2771623/post53128101)
Third, use motowpnomo, but executing "adb shell /data/local/atvc/root.sh" in a separate cmd window every time the device reboots (instructions for motowpnomo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/orig-development/kill-write-protection-motowpnomo-t2551113 as for the command, just spam it till it goes through)
Forth, install your superuser application (and safestrap if you want custom rom functionality)
Fifth, profit!
Note that you do have read/write access to system and root access, but still a locked bootloader.

Wow I love you!

alright my inner noob is going crazy. i see a zillion threads on how you need to roll back to 4.2.2 rom. my question is do i need to roll back if im on 4.4 stock?
i must have downloaded every tool and rom needed by this point. a step by step would be awesome. lots of tutorials available but im seeing they are mostly off of the x which i do understand is practically a sibling to the ultra and maxx.
any info or step by step would be awesome. lastly if i dont need to roll back to an earlier version that would be super. thanks!!!

What build of 4.4 are you one? 19.5.3 or 19.6.3?

19.5.3 it should be made known i plan on using the phone with t-mobile and the outside hope that i can have a fully functional phone with lte...

Well that makes things more difficult, TMobile has an LTE to Voice/text handoff issue present in 19.5.3 and 19.6.3. I hear its corrected in 4.4.4. Do you have an unlocked boot loader?

Boot loader is not unlocked. However if I do the update I won't be able to get root. Correct?

Correct. You are on the correct version to begin root. With Jcase's pie and run wp off. You can keep that when you update to 19.6.3 however when you update to 4.4.4 youll lose root (unless you preserve it) but you definitely lose wp off

You don't need to downgrade of you are on 19.5.3. You just need to run motopie then motowpnomo.
You can't unlock the bootloader unless you have a code or a developer edition.
No recovery or rom needed.
Root-wp off- Root survival mode in supersu- update to 19.6.3 then stay there unless you want to update to 4.4.4 to address the tmobile lte issue
Then the sequence would be Root-wp off- Supersu survival-update to 19.6.3- supersu survival-update 4.4.4

Run motowpnomo to gain wp off then safe strap can install su to system

Ok my buddy has a regular Droid Maxx and after seeing my Droid Maxx DE with Xposed Framework he wants to root his. Looking into it is a bit more work than mine. I have never used adb so I was hoping someone could help me out with this.

[Q] Installing a custom ROM after official kitkat, root & unlock

I took the kitkat update some time ago now and unlocked my bootloader. I'm now about ready for a change so tried installing a custom rom through twrp but every attempt has resulted in a bootloop (m logo). I've performed a wipe as instructed on the rom threads each time so i cant understand it. Is there something special i should be doing which isnt mentioned on the rom threads?

you can only use the ones that have been updated to the KK base. im not sure which ones they are, you may want to look through them for some indication of that.

Gummy and cm11 are ready for KK. I'm running cm11 and it's pretty darn stable. Each nightly release gets better and better.

Hmm i guess that explains it as i managed to get slimkat working. So carbon rom and pacman i presume are not ready for kitkat? Really liked the sound of the carbon features so thats a bummer . I guess i'll give cm11 and gummy a try but neither really interests me in terms of features.

Acquiring root is the easy part . Just download the root exploit 'towelroot' from https://towelroot.com/ install and run from your phone. Its been a while since i did this but its just a case of clicking something and your phone will reboot after which you can install rootchecker to check you have root. Once you have root you should unlock your bootloader with motopocalypse as doing so will open up custom rom possibilities!

[Q] Trouble using Towelroot/SuperSU to root Shield tablet

So I used towelroot to root the device and installed SuperSU. When i open SuperSU, it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevent forums for your device!"
Anyone help would be much appreciated, thanks!

That just means you're not rooted. When using towelroot, let it run for 15 seconds or so then swipe it away on the previous apps screen. The tablet will freeze, reboot itself and then you'll be rooted.

Thanks Huang! I got it rooted last night! Yay! What is the difference between towelroot and adb root?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Theres no significant difference. The bootloader remains locked, but that likely wont impact you at all.

I really want TWRP and MultiROM support for this tablet. Such a great device! Hoping for a Slim ROM soon!

I'm very sure that the bootloader is unlocked on the Nvidia Shield Tablet from what I have read in the Nvida Forums and from flashing different custom recoveries. I have not had any issues flashing custom TWRP and Philz recoveries with Flashify on my 32GB LTE Shield Tablet. The custom recoveries are not optimized or working correctly on the tablet yet so I flashed back to the Stock Recovery for now. I did have to unlock the bootloader on my Shield Portable though.

Droid Mini/Ultra/Maxx SU6-7.7?

Just wondering if anyone has any insight on SU6-7.7 on the Droid line? Whether or not anyone know or hear anything about downgrading to a different SU version? I have the firmware file for the latest SU6-7.7 in case anyone wants it.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7hPMTc_G5VPMFVqZmdMSXJEbjA
It would be nice if Motorola/Lenovo would let us do what we want with a phone they no longer "support".

Thanks, I was looking for this.

OK, since you asked...
On a Motorola phones that still have their stock, factory install intact, they do this clever thing where they cycle between a few different boot logo's, with slightly different colors in the Motorola logo on each boot.
Is there any way to replicate that after you're unlocked?

I believe that you can replace the stock boot logo with an unlocked or locked bootloader. There are a quite a few logos to choose from. When you pick one, you fastboot the image.

Oh, to answer your original question, SU6-7.7 appears to be the "terminal" KitKat release for the Droid Ultra/MAXX.
If you go to the Motorola web site you can get an earlier 2014 4.4.4 build, SU4.21 I think. I think that was the first 4.4.4, before any OTA's. This is why I was happy when you posted the more recent one.

I've flashed both, they both seem to work just fine.
Did you have a more specific question?

To my knowledge, I don't think you can install custom roms once you install the latest SU update. Beings that you're on SU6-7.7 like me, there's not much you can do until someone comes out with another exploit.

Can I revert to su6-7 after having su6-7.7 update? I could do that after su6-7.3 update though.

Did you try downgrading directly from SU6-7.7 to SU6-7 or you went like SU6-7.7 to 7.3 to 7.2 to SU6-7?

In case this helps anyone: I recently updated to SU6-7.7 from SU4.21 following the guidance in this thread and referenced resources on a XT1030 (Moto Mini). Initially I tried to get cute and only flashed the system image and modem upgrades; was rewarded with a bootloader loop that did not resolve after a full TWRP restore of the previous build. Next take including everything in the zip except boot.img and recovery.img as my device is unlocked and wasn't sure if flashing boot.img would relock the bootloader. Also wanted to maintain a true recovery. Everything worked fine except the WiFi radio which refused to engage (Bluetooth was ok). After a bit of fiddling dropped back to fastboot and flashed boot.img. Device restarted just fine with bootloader remaining unlocked. Whohoo! I should also note the all of the above was a 'dirty flash'. Never erased the userdata partition; all apps came back just fine. Oh yeah, had to reflash SuperSU but that's pretty standard after a system wipe.
Thanks to all the key contributors in this thread and elsewhere in the forum. After some miserable bootloops a couple years back (foolishly accepted VZW OTA) I froze the rom and vowed never to update it. It's nice to be running the terminal release of KitKat for this device which as several stability/usability features baked in along with the usual security updates (now dated but better than 2014!). I had considered CM 12.1 and CM 13 but needed fully hardware functionality that only seems to come with stock builds.

Dear i have successfully rooted mine droid mini su6-7.7 with kingo root (not global) v3.4 successfully now i have superuser app in system directory
---------- Post added at 05:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 AM ----------
Dear friends i have successfully root mini droid mini su6-7.7 with kingo root v3.4 (not kingo root global). actually i was trying to flash su4.21 over su6-7.7 with RSD lite v6.1 but failed with max get var and after that tried to flash with RSD lite 5.1 again failed without any error. after all of there method i thought of giving a try to kingo root. i downloaded 2 apps kingo root globalv4.9.7 and kingo root v3.4, kingo root global failed to root but.... kingo root v3.4 succeeded to roo. now i have superuser app in system driectory.
but problem is that after removing system app (amazon) when i restarted the phone all the apps came back and superuser app gone. i don't know why so my request to look into this method .
i have tested this method and worked 100% and i have no intention of making fun of me. i have both the apps but don't know how to upload here
Thanks
